Subnuclear Physics
The research interests of this unit cover various aspects of the study of fundamental interactions. Research areas covered include neutrino physics, p-p interactions at extreme energies, rare processes, high luminosity flavor physics. Researchers of this unit, in synergy with INFN, are involved (often with leading roles) in research projects at the very frontier of the physics knowledge, while collaborating with several international laboratories across the world (LNGS, LNF, CERN, Stanford, Tsukuba). Such complex experimental activities requires close collaboration with advanced technology industrial partners, thus generating technological transfer benefits on the territory. A portfolio of the skills of this unit, apart from specific particle physics projects includes R&D on future particle detectors, automatic microscopy, complex system project and building, development and realization of data acquisition and control electronics, microelectronics and algorithms, data analysis and related software, high complexity distributed computing, application of particle detectors to interdisciplinary problems.
